“Christina was great with my dog and was able to help with a last minute drop in request. She was very communicative and I would definitely have her walk my pup again!”
“Ian was a great help with my Jojo!!! He was a fast communicator and very punctual. I felt very comfortable leaving Jojo in his care. He sent great photos!!! Jojo looks forward seeing Ian again next week!!!”
“Me and my baby boy Ralphy enjoy Dwain's visits. Ralphy enjoys seeing him and he's always so thrilled. I enjoy catching up with Dwain as we always have a pleasant exchange when he picks Ralphy up for his stroll. I really trust him with my boy and would recommend ANYONE to use their services. Truly valuable!”
About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, including senior pets and animals with special needs. I’ve cared for dogs with arthritis, mobility problems, and cancer, helping them move around safely, go outside, and stay comfortable. I also have experience with physical-therapy routines, including assisting a dog with weakened back legs and water-treadmill therapy. With cats and dogs, I’ve helped give medications and have experience giving fluids to a cat with kidney issues. I’ve also walked, fed, and watched neighbors’ dogs, including Charlie, Rosie, and Parker. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable adjusting my care to each pet’s individual needs. My schedule is fairly flexible, which gives me plenty of time to provide pets with consistent attention and care. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and pet sitting. I can also work around each pet’s normal routine and make sure they get the care and attention they’re used to. I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. I take the time to learn what makes each pet feel comfortable, whether that means an energetic walk, extra patience with a senior dog, medication at a certain time, or simply giving a shy pet some space. I’m very careful with leashes, doors, gates, feeding instructions, and anything else an owner points out. Having cared for pets with mobility issues and other special needs, I’m used to paying attention to the little things and adjusting my care when needed. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and as close to their normal routine as possible while you’re away.
“We ended up having to book last minute and Emma came through for us and our babies! She set up a meet and greet with us to make sure our dogs got a chance to meet her prior to our trip. She kept us updated daily and sent photos as well! We will definitely will be booking again in the future! She is great and we highly recommend!”
“Danielle did great with taking care of my two dogs and cat while we were away. She went above and beyond with her communication, sending pics and taking her time walking and feeding the pets. She even helped clean up with one of my dogs who had a poopy situation which was not at all expected, I felt bad my dog got runs while I was away. But she helped give him sweet potato so he felt better and even bought peewee pads, which just kept my mind at ease knowing my dog was being cared for. I would definitely rehire her again, she was just the best!”
“She gave me updates and I love that she took pictures for me too! She definitely gave Callie a nice walk and attention when I was unable too. Will definitely be booking with her.”
“Natasha is always amazing! Our pups (and psycho kitty) love her. We never have to worry with her watching our boys (and madam murder paws). She goes above and beyond with frequent updates, which is always appreciated!”
About: Stress-Free Environment Calm, safe, and home-like setting that keeps dogs happy, not anxious. I’m also reliable and communicative—pet parents can count on regular updates, photos, and peace of mind while they're away. With experience handling pets of all sizes, temperaments, and special needs, I go beyond basic care by providing personalized attention, emotional comfort, and plenty of love. I treat pet sitting as a responsibility and a priority, I build in time for everything from play sessions to medication schedules, keeping flexibility for any last-minute needs. My routine is built to support dependability, consistency, and compassion—three things every pet needs when away from their family. When pets stay in my home, I strive to make them feel safe, relaxed, and loved—just like part of the family. I provide a clean, pet-friendly environment with cozy spaces for rest, toys for enrichment, and designated areas for feeding and play. I stick closely to their usual routines, including walk times, feeding schedules, and any special care or medications they need.
About: Our family has over 16 years of hands-on experience caring for my own pets, including two dogs and a cat. Through the years, I’ve cared for pets at every stage of life, from active younger pets to seniors requiring extra patience and attention. I understand the importance of maintaining routines, providing exercise, giving plenty of affection, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. As a pet owner myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I treat every animal as if they were part of my own family. An added perk, I am currently working remote from home and will be able to be home with your pets the majority of the day! I currently work remotely, which allows me to provide consistent companionship and supervision throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, with flexibility for walks, playtime, feeding schedules, bathroom breaks, and regular check-ins. I am home most of the day and can give pets the attention and care they need while maintaining their normal routines. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I’m happy to work with owners to provide a comfortable, stress-free experience. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. As a longtime pet owner, I understand the importance of keeping pets secure, maintaining their routines, and paying attention to their individual personalities and needs. I am committed to providing a clean home, close supervision, regular exercise, and plenty of affection. Since I work remotely, I am able to be present throughout the day and provide companionship, bathroom breaks, and regular attention. Whether caring for pets in my home or visiting a client’s home, I treat every pet with the same patience, respect, and care I would want for my own.
About: I have been caring for animals for years. Currently working as a veterinarian and will provide the best possible care I can for your fur baby I work 4 day work weeks and have all of Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday to spend quality time with your pet. Available after 5 pm on workdays I have a fully fenced in yard with two large dogs and cats that are very friendly and accepting of new animals due to frequent fosters in the home.
“Amber was phenomenal ! She took amazing care of my menace Burton. Her pre-service prep is very thoughtful; she definitely cares about making sure your furbaby stays in routine and gets lots of love. Burton has separation anxiety and she provided all behavioral details to me during her walks with him. Definitely going to work with her again! Thank you Amber !!”
About: What sets me apart is my personalized, positive approach to pet care—every dog is treated as an individual! I focus on building trust, clear communication, and real-life skills that work at home and on walks. Pet care fits seamlessly into my weekly routine. I am a student with a flexible schedule and with that flexibility, have the opportunity to do what I love-pet care! Long overnight stays, drop-ins daily, or quick weekend visits are things I love to spend my time doing. Safety, trust, and a positive environment are my top priorities. I provide attentive, reliable care and closely follow each pet’s routine to ensure they feel secure and comfortable. I use gentle, positive methods and maintain a calm, clean environment so every pet feels safe, respected, and at ease while in my care.
“Devin has been an incredible dog charmer! Maddix took to him in minutes. He's courteous, flexible, knowledgeable and he was there for Maddix at the last minute. You are missing out if you don't give Devin a try! Thank you Devin for helping me out, especially at the last minute!”
About: Hi everyone! I am first and foremost an animal lover! On top of that, I know how to keep your baby active, happy, and healthy! I am more than happy to meet with you beforehand because I want you to rest easy knowing that your baby is in good hands! I had two weenie dogs growing up and they are my world. I've dog sat for friends and family and always have an amazing time! If you have any questions, please contact me! I work the typical 40 hour week so anything after 4:30 on weekdays and any time on weekends I'm here for you and happy to help! Currently I have two kitties that put the biggest smile on my face the second I wake up. Animals just trust me. Every time I visit a friend with a "they don't like people" animal, they still like me!

It’s been a while since I started using Matthew for Dewey and I am thrilled to say that Dewey has made a new best friend and gets so excited when it’s time for a walk. Getting the pictures and the walk report is one of the highlights of my workday when I am in the office. We worry about our dogs so much and it’s great that my dog has a friend that loves him as if he were his own dog.
I have a 9 year old pit/rottweiler mix that is just starting to show signs of aging and arthritis. Naturally, I am very picky about who I trust with my dog. That is why I am so glad to have found Tyler on this app. My dog took an immediate liking to him and let him handle him on the leash the very first meeting. Since he is a big dog, it was important to find someone that can handle him if he decides to go after a squirrel, cat, or those pesky sky cats (crows). Tyler immediately put my mind at ease as well. He is very cognizant of Dewey’s needs as well as any of my concerns. He takes the time to get to know your dog and asks questions. After meeting us, he texted me a few days later with questions about Dewey and I liked that he was thinking about my dog a few days before the walk and preparing. I recently had concerts in town on back to back nights — including a Friday night — and Tyler was more than accommodating to help and give up part of his weekend. He also is very punctual and fantastic about communicating. I have zero concerns to use Tyler when I can. Just the fact that he can be available on weekends and short notice is great. If you have a dog, you know how important it is to have someone reliable that will care for your dog as it were his own. That said, you should definitely book Tyler without hesitation.
Anathalia was amazing! This was our first time using Rover and she blew our expectations out of the water. She is extremely communicative, professional, and trustworthy, and took the cutest photos of our puppy when she would take her on walks (which I loved!) She made sure to keep me in the loop about everything she was doing with our puppy & is very sweet; I definitely recommend her!!
Halle - Thank you so much for taking care of our baby boy!!! If I could give you 10 stars I would. We instantly felt comfortable with you and so glad we found you. You are very professional, and sweet, you came on time to every appointment and did everything exactly the way we left directions. Will definitely use you again!! Happy doggie & mama 🥰
Even with my grumpy pup, she did amazing! Very communicative through the entire experience, updated often with photos. Im glad my picky dog did well with her! Kristina was even great with reading body language& ensuring my dog was comfortable. will book again if needing anyone in the future!

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Forest City. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
